Imputed or stated birth dates, by census
Where imputed from age last birthday, the actual birth date could be up to 12 months earlier.
Comments: William had been born by the June 1870 census, so he can't have been born in December 1871 as stated in the 1900 census. Denis was 11 months old at the June 1880 census, so he may not be the same Denis as in the June 1900 census.
Imputed marriaged dates
In 1900 they had been married 35 years ie in 1865. On that basis, and taking their stated birth dates from the same census, Augustin would have been about 15 and Katherine about 13 when they were married. In 1910 they had been married 42 years ie in 1868.
